1 Timothy 4:7 (NASB) says: “Discipline yourself for the purpose of godliness.” It is essential that Christians pursue holiness to grow in godliness. Donald S. Whitney argues that the path to Christian maturity and godliness must include the spiritual disciplines. These are not subjective practices, rather, they are the practices we find in Scripture that promote spiritual growth. While the more obvious disciplines are covered, this resource can also spur us on towards the more neglected practices of fasting, evangelism, and silence and solitude. Whitney provides a helpful resource to encourage believers in their disciplines, while outlining many practical tips to get us started.
